THE COHEN CASE.

4 Tremendous Effort TO Impress the Public
with Its Importance.
Special to- the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON, Oct. 27-The press throughout the
country has made an enormous spread on the
Cohen case, publishing every detail. including
the American addresses of suspected persons,
with great minuteness. The Tory newspapers
are especially particular to impress upon the
minds of tn cir readers the importance of the
case, the enormty of the ofense contemplated
by the suspects and proved by the evidence
before the coroners jury, and the efficiency of
the detectives in ferreting out the woud-be
outrage-mongers. Nevertheless, there have
been arrests. and this fact strikes thinking
persons as being just the least bit Incompatible
with the claims of the ministerial papers that
the parties to the alleged conspiracy are the
most consummate villains that have come into
public notice since the Phoenix Park murders.
The witness Hawkins and others, who certainly
ought to have been arrested if the testimony
of detective Monro and his subordi-
mates is to be accepted true. go
their way unmolested, and the work of magnify
ing mole bill into mountain is left wholly 10
the ne W papers, the whole affair being entirely
too diaphanons for the most uncompro-
misrg OF their Tory readers to consider seri-
ouslv.
The Irish papers devote considerable space to
routine reports of the inquest. but dismiss the
case editorially by accusing the government of
attempting to divert the current of public feel
ing from the Irish cause by misrepresentation
and subterfuge.
